Miko: Local verifier to catch Claude Code skipping required Skills
RefrigeratorOwn9941 · reddit · 2026-09-01
The author released Miko, an open-source local verifier to address the issue where Claude Code ignores or misses required Skills during long conversations.
Features & Mechanics
- Miko hooks into Claude Code to monitor observable events like Skill loading, reference reading, and test passing.
- If Claude attempts to edit a protected file without loading the required Skill, Miko pauses the action, specifies the missing requirement, and allows a retry.
- Includes a REVIEW state for ambiguous cases, balancing automatic recovery with user prompts.
- Runs locally with privacy in mind, storing no prompts or source code.
Technical Implementation
- Written in deterministic TypeScript without additional LLM calls.
- Try it via npx koma-miko@alpha probe --host claude.
